ISSN: 2277-503X| © 2015 Bonfring Abstract--Fingerprint alteration is the process of changing the regularly spaced ridge structure by mechanical or chemical means to hide the identity from Automated Fingerprint Identification System. This paper presents a method for altered fingerprint matching using texture and ridge frequency in the unaltered region. Wavelet transform is used to create feature vectors from ridge frequency and ridge texture. Matching score obtained for both texture and ridge frequency is fused together to obtain final score. Results of one to many matching between synthetically altered fingerprints and its unaltered mates shows that this method is suitable for altered fingerprint matching.

Fingerprint matching using minutiae and texture features
The advent of solid-state fingerprint sensors presents a fresh challenge to traditional fingerprint matching algorithms. These sensors provide a small contact area ( 0:6" 0:6") for the fingertip and, therefore, sense only a limited portion of the fingerprint. Thus multiple impressions of the same fingerprint may have only a small region of overlap. Minutiaebased matching algorithms, which consi...
متن کاملExperimental Assessment on Latent Fingerprint Matching Using Affine Transformation
In forensics latent fingerprint identification is critical importance to identifying suspects: latent fingerprints are invisible fingerprint impressions left by fingers on surfaces of objects. The proposed algorithm uses a robust alignment algorithm (mixture contour and Orientation based Descriptor) to align fingerprints and to get the similarity score between fingerprints by considering minuti...
متن کاملDesigning of Fingerprint Enhancement Based on Curved Region Based Ridge Frequency Estimation
Fingerprint enhancement algorithm is used to improve the clarity of ridges and valleys of input fingerprint images. These kind of algorithm make them more suitable for the minutiae extraction algorithm. The ultimate criterion for evaluating such an enhancement algorithm is the total amount of “quality” improvement when the algorithm is applied to the noisy input fingerprint images. There are va...
متن کاملA Hybrid Fingerprint Matcher
Most fingerprint matching systems rely on the distribution of minutiae on the fingertip to represent and match fingerprints. While the ridge flow pattern is generally used for classifying fingerprints, it is seldom used for matching. This paper describes a hybrid fingerprint matching scheme that uses both minutiae and ridge flow information to represent and match fingerprints. A set of 8 Gabor ...
متن کاملExploiting Quality and Texture Features to Estimate Age and Gender from Fingerprints
Age and gender of an individual, when available, can contribute to identification decisions provided by primary biometrics and help improve matching performance. In this paper, we propose a system which automatically infers age and gender from the fingerprint image. Current approaches for predicting age and gender generally exploit features such as ridge count, and white lines count that are ma...
